Take another look at where your holding tanks are located, as what you're saying, doesn't sound right. Obviously the black tank end is going to be directly under the toilet and the grey tank probably alongside it from either port or starboard. When replacing such, both usually have to come out just one side, so double work if your problem is with the inside tank. Not always I guess, but this I've seen.
Tropical36 for the win! I started looking closer at the bolts that hold the tank on and there was no way that we could get any tools to them and the7 built the basement compartments tight to the bolts. Only way to access them would be to cut a hole in the walls of the compartments. Given that, it made me look closer at what Tropical suggested. Aerbus had some nice covered panels in the compartment that houses the waterheater and while they were a pain to remove (just lots of screws), it provided a view between the floor of the motorhome and the "plate" that is above the chassis frame. There appears to be about 12" of space. While it's still too cramped to crawl in there and do anything, what we did find was that there appears to be a hole already cut in the plate and covered up with some insulated material. I'm betting that it is already located over the top of the sending unit. All we have to do is lift up the water tank (under the bed) and either cut a hole or possibly, there's already a hole there since Aerbus has provided a access hole on the plate. Stay tuned and wish us luck!
Good that you're getting there and an hour of extra thought and looking, can sometimes save 6 in the long run.
I keep wondering if there'a already an access plate under our fresh water tank, which is located under the bed, also. Most likely not, as one person did decide to go for it in a coach like ours and ended up having to cut his own, but anything is better, than dropping the tank.
